Love to Race & Every Horse has a Story
.................................
This is the story of harness racehorse, Derek Bromac N. After racing in New Zealand as a 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old, Derek was shipped to California to begin his racing career in the United States. He immediately began dominating his competition at remarkable race times. This classy bay gelding found success wherever his travels took him and was often a barn favorite. His crazy antics of always sticking his tongue out while being harnessed, and on the racetrack, made him a horse that wouldn't easily be forgotten.

His crazy antics of always sticking his tongue out while being harnessed, and on the racetrack, made him a horse that wouldn't easily be forgotten.
From California to New Jersey, and every racetrack in between, he was driven by some of the most elite and talented in the harness racing business. He was always known as the horse that always "gave his all."
Follow Derek's narration, written by his owner Amber Sawyer, and beautifully illustrated by Tami Joe DeLisle.
After publishing her first book, Love to Race, author Amber Sawyer hit the road to promote her new release. She crisscrossed the United States, visiting schools and racing facilities, bringing her story to horse lovers. She met hundreds of new friends on her journey, and listened to stories of horse owners, riders, and racers. They all had a story to tell about their horses.
In Every Horse Has A Story, Amber shares some of her favorite stories she heard during her visits, as well as a few of her own personal stories of horses she has ridden or met over the years.
Discover the universal love for horses, and see into the minds of children and adults alike the passion and respect for these magnificent animals.
